[Sparky J]

First of all, I want to give a BIG shout out to all the Guys over at Axial HQ for giving me the chance as a team driver and for all these kick a$$ parts.

The goods







Now its time for the tear down of the SW3:-(

[Sparky J]

This chassis is completely awsome. I can't get over how well the design work is. The delrin skid comes predrilled for the tranny and VF dig to fit just right. This was always a sore spot for me, having to drill out a skid by hand to match the tranny perfect. All the chassis to skid mounting holes are just a size small enough that the screws go in nice and tight and will not strip out( another sore spot)

Looks like another super clean Sparky build I'm with Patrick though, I hope you don't get any practice time in before next weekend

[Sparky J]

I have been rebuilding everything as I go starting with regreasing the tranny and VF. I decieded to go back with Jato driveshafts mated to the Axial metal yokes since I have never broken one. They fit right in perfect with no moding.

Dang Sparky looking good so far. But we will have to see if it will hang with my new rig.

What, another turd burg?:-P

[Sparky J]

Next it's time to rebuild the axles. I'm installing the HD ring gears and lockers with the Axial straight axle in the rear and Axial aluminum C's, nuckels and cvd toped with the new Axial BC axle link/servo mounts

[Brandon]

Looks like a great start

Couldn't be driving for a better team/group of guys!

Thanks.. I just can't say enough about it

[Sparky J]

finished rebuilding my shocks. I decieded to keep with the Losi 4". Now I'm starting on the Delrin links with Jato ball ends mounted with 8/32 screws. It normally takes me a whole day to do 8 links by hand; I sooo need a lathe








I made up a jig to at least get the holes straight. The tapering could have been a little better

[RPMJ]

Nice Work Sparky it looks great. I can't wait to see it.

[cato]

Sweet Sparks......ya missed something though

If ya go out this week, give me a holler, I seem to have alot of time on my hands at the moment

Oh ya: Did ya remember to get my tools?

[Rubbaneck]

Very sophisticated build sir, with all the cool hop-up parts they should throw in a snow camo hat for you to sport.
